obsessed with a post delivery diagnosis

I am SO obsessed with being diagnosed with Type 2 post delivery.... Is there any indicators in GD numbers?? I am so scared..... im 37 weeks - on Glyboride 7.5 - all fastings are in the 70's my meals are good 90% of time unless I KNOW i cheat... no unexplained highs... my highs are in the 140's (2 hr post meal) if ive been a VERY bad girl.... Cant stop obsessing....

When I had it with my last one I was told most women who follow the diet and exercise are done once baby leaves their system. IF you're going to get it, it's more likely to come several years down the road. And that is less likely to Happen if you continue to eat well (low carbs & good choices) and exercise regularly.

I'm stressing over it too. I had diet controlled GD with my first and now with the second the dietitian is convinced I had type 2 and didn't know it. She's giving me symptoms and I'm trying to explain to her that yes I have those but they only started since I've been preggo. Stressing out big time over it all. Bleh!

Your numbers look great Rhondarudy. They just bumped my glyburide to 2.5 at bed time and 1.25 at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not fun...

I am currently a type 1 diagnosed 4 yrs ago with my twins as gestational diabeties. Unfortunatly it never went away. I was very controlled always under 6.0 and A1C was around 5.5%
My twins were only in ICU for 1wk. I was told by the nurses it was gone and 6 months later started getting symptoms of hypos. My doctor said it probably never went after birth of the twins.
I am a very healthy and was 50kg pre pregnancy went to the gym 3 days a week and still managed to get type 1 after my boys. They just pushed my pancreas to its limits. I say it's a small price to pay and after you have lived with it for a while it becomes second nature. And you become so healthy and fit if u look at it as a positive that is;)
If you are left with diabeties after the pregnancy you have to look at it as a positive it kicks u in the butt to become a better stronger person good luck xxx
